The Star has agreed to print the verses of the carols in the order in which they appear on the program and are to be sung by the audlence. It is suggested that they be clipped and taken to the White House grounds, and also that flashlights or other means of illumination be provided by which they can be read. The verses of these carols follow: “OH, COME, ALL YE FAITHFUL."” 1. Oh, come, all ye faithful, Joyful and triumphant; Oh, come, ye, oh, come, ye, to Bethlchem; Come and behold Him born the King of Angels. Refrain: Oh, come, let us adore Him, Oh, come, let us adore Him, Oh, come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord. 2, Sing, choirs of angels, Sing in exuitation, Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above: Glory to God in the highest. Refrain: 2. Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, Born this happy morning; Jesus, to Thee be glory given; Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing. Refrain: “0 LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM.” L O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee llel Above thy deep and dreamless slecp ‘The silent stars go by; Yet in thy dark streets shineth ‘The everlasting light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight. 2. For Christ is born of Mary, And gathered all above, . ‘While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wond'ring love, O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birtht And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth. & How silently, how silently, ‘The wondrous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts ‘The blessings of His heaven. No ear may hear His coming, But In this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him still, ‘The dear Christ enters in. 4. O holy Child of Bethieham! Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin, and entee in; Be born in us today. ‘We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tefl; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord, Emmanuelt ~P. Breoks, 1848. “JOY TO THE WORLDI” L Joy to the world! the Lord is come; Let earth receive her King; Let every heart prepare Him room, And heaven and nature sing. 2. Joy to the world! the Savior reigns; Let men their songs employ, ‘While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains Repeat the sounding joy. 3, No more let sin and sorrow grow, Nor thorns infest the ground; He comes to make His blessings flow Far as the curse is found. 4, He rules the world with truth and grace, And makes the nation prove The glories of His righteousness And wonders of His love. — “HOLY NIGHT, PEACEFUL NIGMT> L Holy night! Peaceful night! All is dark, save the light Yonder where they sweet vigils keep O'er the Babe, who in slient sleep Rests in heavenly peace, Rests in heavénly peace. 3, Silent night! Holy Night! Darkness flies, all is light! Shepherds hear the angels sing— “Hallelujah! Hail the King! Jesus Christ is here! Jesus Christ is here!” 2. Silent night! Peaceful night! Child of heaven! Oh, how bright Thou didst smile when Thou wast born; Blessed was that happy morn, Full of heavenly joy, Full of heavenly joy. “HARK! THE HERALD ANGELS SING” L Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the new=burt King; Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconcliéd!” Joyful all ye nations, rise, Join the triumph of the skies; ‘With the angelic host proclaim, *“Christ Is born in Bethiehem.” Hark! The herald angels sing, “Qlory to the new-born King.” 2. Christ, by highest heaven adored;- Christ, the everlasting Lord; Late in time behold Him come, Offspring of the Virgin's womb: Veiled in flesh the Godhead see; Halil the Incarnate Deity, Pleased as man with men to dwell; Jesus, our Emmanuel! Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the newsborn King.” 2 Hall, the heaven-born Prince of Peace! Halil, the Sun of Righteousness! iLight and life to all He brings, Risen with healing in His wings. Mild, He lays His glory by, Born that man no more may die, Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them second birth. Hark! The herald angels sing, 'anqmmutbmxlu.'
